A vehicle crashed into a traffic barrier on Interstate 5 at the Myrtle Creek exit on Wednesday.

An Oregon State Police report said the northbound driver lost control of his sedan when he accelerated to get away from another vehicle that was following too closely just after 12:00 p.m.  The impact flattened two tires. The driver was given a warning for driving too fast for conditions.

The vehicle had to be towed from the scene.
